| Cardboard Citizens presents the story of an entire nation made homeless, starting in the age of Cold War secrets and ending in the era of global warming. A Few Man Fridays unearths an inglorious episode of British history. Between 1967 and 1973, the population of the Chagos Islands was evicted to make way for a US military base. For forty years they have fought for justice in an epic struggle that is unlikely to end even when the European Court of Justice delivers a ruling later this year. A Few Man Fridays traces the displacement of these 'unpeople' and the successive denial of their right to nationhood. Cardboard Citizens has worked with homeless people and the marginalised for 20 years, marrying personal stories and historical subjects into an epic theatre that challenges public perceptions of social exclusion. This new play explores the fantasies of the powerful, set against the dreams of the powerless. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Shakespeare adapted by Adrian Jackson and Sarah Woods | |||||
Synopsis: | Cardboard Citizens love to contextualise Shakespeare, they induct the audience for Timon into a management-training seminar. This leads to an amusing introductory assessment of the Bard's work in terms of how it can enhance your managerial skills: thus, Hamlet becomes about "prioritising your to-do list". If Adrian Jackson's production of Timon works, it is less because of the packaging than because of its grasp of the raw essentials. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Georg Buchner | |||||
Synopsis: | it depicts a very modern kind of alienation: Woyzeck, prey to the terrifying voices in his head, is isolated in a world that, despite the interventions of intrigued medics, understands his torment little and by and large cares less. It's a fascinating critique of the way in which mental illness stigmatises, and of how a differing perception of facts and events can separate an individual from mainstream society. | |||||
